Zooey just returned from his first trip to the farmer's market. Where he saw lots of delicious fresh foods. There were several comments made by people about his obvious sweetness. Which is intensified when he's napping with his mouth wide open in the sling. We bought sprouts, sunflowers and garlic from local farmers. I'm sure we would have gotten more or indulged in some of the awesome breads had it not come a big thunderstorm. We weren't able to get a crop share this summer, so now we have a great place to get out with the little guy.

ps. Nursing Moms, sprouts are great for milk production.

6 weeks old
i'm totally typing with one hand while nursing a very tired zooey. we had great day together getting out of the house to run a few errands - target, the mall, work. he was perfect. i got him in and out of the car seat to the sling several times with no fussing. fyi- moms, make sure you have a sling to wear your baby in, they work miracles.
zooey is already 6 weeks old. it's crazy. i'm amazed at how the time flies even when you're sitting on the couch breastfeeding for most of the day. i've loved it. i feel like i might be getting the hang of things for now. i'm happy - and rested enough - to say that zooey has been sleeping through the night for 7 hour stretches. amazing, right? i feel his compassionate nature already. he quietly drifts off to sleep around 11;30 and politely wakes us up around 7. of course now that i'm bragging that will probably all go out the window.
being a baby is hard work. in 6 weeks of outside life zooey has already experienced so much. shots, a mosquito bite, tongue tie clipping (so sad), thrush, clueless parents, humidity, a move to a new apartment, second hand smoke (yuck), a clumsy mom bumping his head (calm down, it wasnt hard), cat fur in his mouth, daddy's chest hair in his mouth, a lack of communication, cradle cap, apparently an unquenchable thirst, whew- no wonder he's so tired.
